作者测量了里德伯原子束通过由微米尺寸狭缝阵列制成的金属光栅的传输情况。透射率随主量子数 n 的平方线性减小，并截止到最大 n 值。这些结果与基于静电图像模型的原子-金属电子交换的简单理论定性一致。这个实验提供了原子尺寸和“经典”人造物体尺寸之间的不同寻常的比较。
The authors have measured the transmission of a beam of Rydberg atoms through a metallic grating made of an array of micrometre size slits. The transmission decreases linearly with the square of the principal quantum number n, with a cut-off for a maximum n value. These results are in qualitative agreement with a simple theory of atom-metal electron exchange based on an electrostatic image model. This experiment provides an unusual comparison between the dimensions of atoms and the size of a 'classical' manufactured object.
